Illusion

SOLD! - [link] <-- more photos of different angles here

Material - Nephrite Jade
Size - 25 x 25 x 25mm

This is one of those items I make simply to see if it can be done. My teacher really tried to stop me when she saw the design, because she thought it would be too hard... To tell the truth I found it to be one of the most straight-forward projects I made that year!

The design was inspired by those 'impossible shapes' that abound in optical illusion pictures (hence the name). If (when!) I manage to get my own carving equipment I intend to explore the concept further, maybe even make a series.

This is one of those extremely difficult objects to photograph, simply because it is aggressivly 3D and looks different from every angle, as you will see if you take a peek at the link up there
